For Outworlders...
NAME: Desmond Arsibault
ORIGIN: Nexus; Nexan religion is intrinsic in the world's name; they believe their world to be the center of the universe due to a hypothesis involving Tables where aliens have phased into Nexus in the past. Desmond is the first native Nexan ever to be able to phase out to a different world, but a couple of particularly long-lived aliens who came to Nexus have been able to leave. Nexans believe that these aliens returned to their own homeworlds.
RACE: Nexan -- externally indistinguishable from human
GENDER: Male
AGE: 27 (23 in human terms)
JOB/ROLE: Bartender and musician
SKILLS/POWERS/ABILITIES: Bard song, similar to FFXI. Initially very limited due to differences between Nexus and Homeworld. Can influence emotions, buff/debuff individual traits, and carry out limited healing over time effects. Is capable of achieving one effect at a time on Homeworld, but was able to do more effects and across a wider area on Nexus. Terminology for this is called "spiking" (to increase a trait) or "sinking" to decrease it.
WEAPON(S): Gun -- FF-style, not real-world style. Also carries a device called a "jigger" that doubles both as a metaphor for smartphones in our world and a musical instrument
APPEARANCE: Average build, initially clean-shaven, brown hair
PERSONALITY: Drug-addled psychopath
BACKGROUND: Desmond is a man who's lost everything, largely due to his addiction to Brilliance, a drug which does not exist on Homeworld.
